Dan and Galina truely made us feel at home from the get go. Dan encouraged us to try new things like making homemade bread and DIY projects which pushed me out of my comfort zone and was rewarding to learn new skills. The work required from us was clearly explained through a detailed document, and Dan kept contact with us daily through whatsapp so it was always easy to reach him in any case. The atmosphere at Taney was amazing. In spare time off from working we were able to do many of the hikes around the Mountain. It was a wonderful experience made by very trusting and generous hosts.

Dan and Galina were wonderful hosts—kind, welcoming, and always willing to teach and explain the tasks. the lodge Baabuk is a special place, welcoming lovely guests who enjoy nature, mountains, and lakes. I learned a lot about hospitality, cooking, and nature. The tasks and equipment are clearly explained in an organized document, making it easy to work independently. During the busy summer high season, there is a lot of work, and working hours can exceed the expected schedule, so independence, responsibility, and maturity are important. I'm very grateful to Dan and Galina!

A little piece of magic in the Alps Spending time as a volunteer at Petit the lodge Baabuk has been a truly special experience. From the very beginning, Dan and Galina welcomed us with open arms, creating a warm, relaxed and inspiring atmosphere that made us feel at home. Lac de Taney is a dreamlike place, surrounded by mountains, nature and silence, it's the perfect place to reconnect and slow down. This experience allowed me to learn, grow, and gain new perspectives. Thank you, Dan and Galina, for everything. I'll carry this little piece of Taney with me wherever I go.

I would definitely repeat the experience without any doubt. It's an ideal place to disconnect, and I've learned to do many manual tasks. The place is paradise, and there are plenty of options if you enjoy the mountains. The hosts welcomed us with open arms and provided all kinds of support. As for the tasks, yes, there are quite a few things to do, but for me personally, the stay went by quickly. Taney has felt like home during these three weeks!

This was my second time volunteering at the lodge Baabuk. During my first stay, we have done a lot of DIY projects, while the second time was more focused on managing the daily operations of the house. This included preparing the rooms, cleaning various spaces, baking, and making breakfast and dinner. Whenever I had some free time, I enjoyed going for walks, Taney is a beautiful place or swimming in the lake. the lodge is truly a special place, and I hope future volunteers will find as much joy in taking care of it as I did. Thank you Dan and Galina for your trust.
